[Blue Baggie]

Oh Phil, you've criticised DM again!!!
Despite the fact you are absolutely spot on with your assessment of his managerial short comings, of which there are quite a few, the DM love in brigade will no doubt jump right to his defence and point out what a great baggie legend he is and how well we are doing this season under his guidance.
Well let's just see where we are at when next season starts.

It's difficult to keep Darren out of the spot light - I can't wait for Darren's fan club to tell me he's still learning and I should be supporting him.
Do they realise our home record this year is worse then Pardew's last year? YES guys Just let that sink in.
His excuses are like his tactics - A game to far - lethargic players. 
Gayle just had a 2 game ban - Livermore just back after a 4 game ban - Phillips just back after a 5 game injury - Harper has played 15 games this season.
Barry has missed several games through injury, Most of the team missed the 2 FA Cup games. Holgate has played 10 games this season, we just got 3 loanee's who have hardly played - oh and then they are not fit is the next excuse. And the Sheff Goalkeeper who made super saves another excuse - we had 2 shots on target - yes 2 shots. 
We were saving our players for this 6 pointer against Sheff Utd - but that's been conveniently forgotten. On paper the side selected it was as strong as it gets. No doubt about that. Alas if you play Gayle as a winger - say no more. The errors are with us as long as Darren is. Don't know why but I still like the guy and have respect for him.
